Small Shop Owner in the 1960s

Chapter 15

Xu Nannan didn't know what Xu Hong thought, but she couldn't care about the thoughts of the rest of the Xu family either. In addition to solving her own affairs this time in the city, she still has important things to do.

After lunch, Xu Nannan went to Li Jing to ask for clothes.

Li Jing was sulking in the kitchen. Ten steamed buns were prepared to save two for the children in the evening, but they were all eaten at noon. And it was eaten up by these dead girls. Her man Xu Jiansheng didn't even eat it.

"Mom, let me change some clothes. My clothes are not convenient to wear out." Xu Nannan didn't have any good clothes. After entering the city, he deliberately soiled the clothes, so the clothes looked torn and dirty.

Li Jing almost laughed angrily. "You still ask me for clothes. You owe you with me. You will have to eat and wear when you come?"

Xu Nannan glanced at her blankly, turned around and left.

"What are you going to do?" Before she finished scolding, the kid wanted to leave, but the other way round!

Li Jing looked at Xu Nannan angrily, and Xu Nannan looked back at her, "Aren't you not giving me clothes? I'm going to my dad."

When I heard Xu Nannan was going to the mine again, Li Jing's head became bigger.

She is now wishing that the people in the mine would have forgotten about this sooner, this dead girl always has to go to the mine to hang around, this is deliberately not to make her feel better.

In Li Jing's heart, face and identity are more important than anything else. Xu Nannan always goes to the mines to make trouble, which will definitely affect Xu Jiansheng's career and make people laugh at their couple. This is simply stabbing her in the heart with a knife.

If this were the past, she would definitely teach this girl severely. It's a pity that now this girl doesn't know what's wrong, she suddenly changed. She couldn't help it. At first, she just had to smile at the girl, and the girl would be happy for a long time. As long as she had a straight face, this girl wouldn't even dare to breathe.

"What do you want clothes to do, you will go back tomorrow, don't you have clothes at home?" Li Jing gritted her teeth.

"You also said that Xiaoman and I both wear clothes together. If we get wet any day, we have to go naked under the blanket. I don't say that they are compared with Honghong, but they can't be like the landlord's. Miss, we are the maids who serve the young lady, right?"

The latter sentence was like a knife, stabbing Li Jingxin with blood. She was the maid of the landlord's house at the beginning, and she was a servant of the landlord's house. She didn't believe that her daughter didn't know about it, and she was slapped in the face when she said this.

"you you…"

Li Jing angrily wanted to find a broom to hit someone.

Xu Nannan said, "I'm going to the mine now."

Li Jing stopped then, gritted her teeth and looked at her. After watching for a long time, he stomped his feet bitterly and went into the room.

Seeing her hurriedly behind, Xu Nannan's mouth was tilted, and his eyes showed a bit of pride. She also knows Li Jing's weakness. This woman really puts face and reputation more important than anything else.

Others are dying to face and suffer. She still doesn't think it is suffering, but complacent.

After a while, Li Jing took out a red plaid coat. "This is your Hong Hong sister's clothes,"

Taking out the clothes, Li Jing still feels a bit painful. Xu Hong is a pretty and smart girl, who is better at dressing up than Xu Meizi. Li Jing is also very happy to dress her up beautifully, and she will have face when she goes out, so Xu Hong also makes a lot of clothes. Xu Meizi is smaller than Xu Hong. As long as Xu Hong's clothes can't be worn, Xu Meizi can still wear it.

She was going to wear this dress for Xu Meizi, and now she had to wear it for this dead girl. What a waste. Don't look at what she looks like.

Xu Nannan didn't care about old clothes anymore, and now it was too late to make new clothes, and she didn't deliberately embarrass Li Jing for the clothes, but really wanted to go out to do errands. So I didn't argue with Li Jing, and changed my old clothes after taking the clothes. Then I combed two shiny and smooth twist braids.

Li Jing discovered that after she dressed up for a while, she turned out to be quite pretty. It looks a lot like her when she was young.

But at this age, she was still working as a maid at the landlord's house.

Li Jing felt uncomfortable again. He hummed twice and went into the house.

Xu Nannan didn't have time to care about her mood, so he called Xu Xiaoman over and told her not to run around, and go out to do something by herself. Xu Xiaoman nodded obediently, "Sister, don't worry, I won't go anywhere. But sister, do you know the way, why do you go out?"

"Isn't this you haven't been in the city, go out and see. You are still young, don't go out. I will be back before dinner." Xu Nannan touched her head.

In this family, she is just such a relative.

After Xu Xiaoman was arranged, Xu Nannan went out directly.

Xu Jiansheng's family lived in a staff house arranged by the mine, which was close to the mine and far from the city. However, the county seat was really not that big at this time. When Xu Nannan came from the station, he wrote down the road. This time, he went there too.

The county where Xu Nannan is located is called Nanjiang County, but because there is an iron mine here, which has driven local development, there are still a lot of workers. Along the way, she met many workers wearing overalls in the mine.

After walking for more than half an hour, I arrived at the center of the county.

At this time, there is no private business, and the streets are not very lively. Some restaurants passing by are also state-owned, and there are not many people eating there. There are a lot of people in the supply and marketing cooperatives, so pick things over there. Someone was whispering to the staff at the counter. The people at the counter secretly took out some difficult-to-buy goods from the counter.

Look, these days, you have to buy something with trust.

Xu Nannan remembered a TV series he had watched before. The actor bought a pair of Jiefang shoes for his father-in-law and asked his friends who worked in the supply and marketing agency for help. It's hard to buy.

At that time, she thought it was too exaggerated. Now that she is on the scene, she knows that reality is even more exaggerated than art.

Xu Nannan's purpose this time is to come here to take a look at the situation in the county town and understand the situation in this era. In addition, I also want to take the opportunity to make money.

After all, she can't secretly buy things from Taobao every time. No matter how she chooses the products, those products are difficult to buy, and they don't even exist in this era. Once or twice, no one would think of it. If there are too many, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents. So she thinks the safest way is to use the currency of this era to buy things in this era.

And she has no money, and she has no sense of security. It's like entering the city this time, if there is no money from Xu Gensheng, she won't even have travel expenses.

The only way she can make money now is to dump things.

An upright reversal is definitely not acceptable. In this era, control is still very strong.

Xu Nannan thought for a while, and found a place where no one was there and bought two cans of milk powder in glass bottles on Taobao. After tearing off the wrapping paper from the bag, put it in a cloth bag and walked to the hospital.

After walking two laps in the hospital, Xu Nannan locked an old man who had come out of the ward.

She just looked at the old man for a while and saw that he had been taking care of an old lady. There was a jar of rice noodles on the table, which seemed to be a tonic.

If you can live in a single ward at this time, the conditions will not be too bad, you can also afford rice noodles, and the purchasing power should be sufficient.

Xu Nannan immediately decided to find this one to test the waters. After the old man walked out of the ward, she followed behind, "Grandpa, please wait."

The old man in front heard the voice, looked back in confusion, saw that it was a little girl, and asked, "Little girl, what's the matter?"

With a cramped expression on Xu Nannan's face, he whispered, "Grandpa, do you want to buy milk powder, it's very nutritious."

Xu Nannan had been looking at the old man, so he clearly caught the eyes of the old man.

The old man lowered his head and asked, "Little girl, do you know where to sell it?"

Then I looked around and found that someone was passing by and quickly dragged Xu Nannan into the ward.

The old man in the hospital bed saw his wife who was going to go home to cook and came back after a while, and also brought a little girl in, and was surprised to sit up.

The old man hurried to let her lie down, "Don't move." He immediately turned to look at Xu Nannan, "Little girl, do you know where there is milk powder?"

It's not that the old man is too exaggerated, it's that this thing is too difficult to buy. It’s not sold at all in the county town, and it’s hard to find it even in the provincial town. His wife has been hospitalized and he has no nutritional supplements. He is really in a hurry.

Xu Nannan didn't expect the old man to be so anxious, and immediately knew that there was a way. Take out the milk powder from the cloth bag, "My dad is a worker. He went to a big city on a business trip and bought me milk powder to replenish my body. I knew it was good, so I didn’t want to eat it, so I wanted to take it over for some money to make my family’s life easier. point."

After saying this, Xu Nannan almost felt like vomiting. He was able to open his eyes and talk nonsense and call Xu Jiansheng a twenty-four filial father.

Whether Xu Nannan believes it or not, the other party believes it anyway.

"You kid is really sensible. I shouldn't have let you betray your family's wishes for you, but I really need this. Otherwise, if I have a chance in the future, I will also give you something good. ."

The old man still feels a little guilty about buying things his parents bought for their children to replenish their bodies. He has also been a father before, and he knows how much his parents care for their children.

Xu Nannan nodded immediately, "Grandpa, it's actually nothing. My dad often travels. After the family's life is better, I will let him buy it for me again. But grandpa, how much do you give this milk powder?" She now I don't want to talk about love, I just want to talk about money, grandpa.

The old man smiled awkwardly, "I'm confused, I haven't talked about it yet. How about it, how about a can of milk powder for six yuan? How about two cans of me."

The old lady on the bed said, "Just buy a can,"

"It's okay. Let's keep it and eat slowly. It's not easy to buy usually."

Xu Nannan calculated it in his head. Now the average worker's salary is more than 30 yuan. According to the price, six yuan can buy tens of kilograms of fine grains. If you buy coarse grains, you can buy dozens of kilograms more.

So even if the milk powder bought for tens of dollars was sold for six dollars, Xu Nannan made a profit.

"Grandpa, do you have a ticket? Both food and industrial tickets will do."

"Yes," seeing Xu Nannan agree, the old man smiled and took out a stack of tickets from his pocket. Based on the prices at this time, Xu Nannan took 20 catties of food coupons, and the rest took industrial coupons.

You can buy food secretly from Taobao, mainly because you need to buy things in your life in the future, you must use these tickets.

With twelve yuan and a stack of tickets, Xu Nannan happily left the ward. Before leaving, the old man left her an address so that if she still had these things in the future, she could go to him.

Xu Nannan also learned that the old man called Wang Donglai. Is a retired worker of a unit.

When Xu Nannan left, the old lady said, "You know how to spend money indiscriminately, it would be wasteful to buy these."

Wang Donglai smiled and poured hot water to make milk powder for her, "What is wasted, now we are at home. The money is not spent and keep it for nothing. Nothing is more important than your body. My wife, you take good care of your health and live more. Years. Don’t leave me alone in the world."

The old lady's eyes turned red when she heard the words, she lowered her head and wiped her tears.

After Xu Nannan left the hospital, he didn't immediately go back, but walked around the county town for a while. Although the county town at this time was not as beautiful and prosperous as the cities in the future, compared with Xujiacun, it was almost a sky and an underground. No wonder people at this time want to run into the city.

Alas, she also wanted to run into the city. Unfortunately, there is no chance yet. As for the way back to the city by Xu Jiansheng's couple, don't think about it. Despite all the difficulties, she also didn't want to drink Xu Jiansheng to live with them.

Xu Nannan went to some state-owned enterprises to ask about the recruitment situation.

At this time, the main job recruitment is to recruit workers with urban registered permanent residence, and it also depends on academic qualifications. Don't think that at this time, you don't look at your academic qualifications. If you want to do a clerical job, you must at least be a middle school student. High school students still need insurance. The proper ones for college students to come in are cadres. As for apprentices, you can also consider those who don't have much education, but this basic mountain is contracted by workers' children. As long as the unit has this opportunity, it is basically possible for twelve or thirteen-year-olds to be employed. Of course, for some special types of work, such as technical ones, if you have this capability, you can also relax the conditions appropriately and enter the unit through the assessment. If you have a rural household registration, you can also transfer your household registration to your work unit.

However, it was because Xu Nannan had no energy to get in. He had no academic qualifications, and he still had a rural household registration, which was basically impossible.

On the way home, Xu Nan Nanyue felt more frustrated and wanted to scream. It is difficult to enter the city, and it is difficult to go to the sky!
